Patient's question:
Two-month-old baby, his eyes were a bit red and swollen a few days ago, and there was yellow pus-like discharge in the eyelid. He went to see an ophthalmologist, and the doctor said it was conjunctivitis caused by eczema. He prescribed levofloxacin hydrochloride gel and applied it for four days, but it didn't improve.Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the condition, it may be due to eczema itching, combined with inflammation caused by the child rubbing their eyes, etc. It is recommended to give the child more warm water to drink and pay attention to the hygiene of the child's eyes. The mother should pay attention to her diet, drink more water, and eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as cherries. You can use anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic eye drops for the child, such as Dexamethasone eye drops, which contain a very small amount of hormones. Once the inflammation is completely healed, stop using them promptly.
